Ning Beichen shrugged, saying nothing. He knew she was angry and that her mother, not being a child, would know how to get home.
Halfway through the drive, Liu Yilin looked at Ning Beichen and asked, "Ning Beichen, you sent those women to him, didn't you?"
Ning Beichen, driving, was caught off guard by Liu Yilin's sudden question and blurted out before he could think.
"He's such a player, I was afraid you'd be tricked by him."
After he finished speaking, Ning Beichen realized his mistake and desperately tried to explain.
"Boss, don't blame me for ruining your good time. I saw him in the parking lot making calls to different women, saying 'my dear' and 'my baby' left and right. It made me sick just listening."
"I was worried you wouldn't believe me if I told you and thought I was slandering him, so I had to use a little trick and invite all his 'dears,' 'babies,' and 'wives' to reunite the family."
"Why are you so nervous? I'm not blaming you."
Seeing him flustered and explaining, Liu Yilin, for some reason, felt her mood lift.
"Thank you for your trust, boss."
Ning Beichen breathed a sigh of relief at Liu Yilin's words.
"That Wang Feng is a player, but you're not exactly an angel either." Da Feng Xiao Shuo Wang
Liu Yilin rolled her eyes. Wang Feng was a player, but this guy was also flirting with that vixen Yue Ya'er, and his senior sister was also very fond of him.
And in Las Vegas, Liu Yilin was absolutely certain that the beautiful countess must have had a close relationship with him as well.
"Boss, I've never deceived anyone's feelings."
Ning Beichen explained aggrievedly.
He did have many women, but he never deceived them like Wang Feng. The women with Ning Beichen knew, understood, and accepted their relationship.
To Ning Beichen, being a womanizer wasn't a sin. The sin was deceiving women, and that was punishable by death.
"If I say you are, then you are. In short, you're no good either."
Liu Yilin said, gesticulating wildly.
"Yes, yes, yes, what the boss says is right. I'm not a good person. I'm just not a good person."
Ning Beichen knew it was useless to reason with her. The more he reasoned, the more agitated she became. In any case, he had never claimed to be a good person. How could anyone who was feared by all be called the "King of Hell Ning"?
They were quiet for a moment, and then Liu Yilin suddenly asked again.
"Ning Beichen, are you worried that I'll end up with that Wang Feng?"
"You're my boss, of course, I have to protect you and not let that player succeed."
Ning Beichen answered casually, but his response did not satisfy Liu Yilin.
"I didn't ask you that. I asked if you were worried about me?"
"Yes."
Ning Beichen had to answer strangely, not understanding why she was so fixated on this.
Ning Beichen's "yes" made Liu Yilin break into a smile, and she even hummed a little tune, which was rare. Ning Beichen was a bit bewildered, thinking this woman was too fickle.
"Boss, are we going straight home or...?"
Ning Beichen asked her.
"Not going back. Take me for a drive."
Liu Yilin said.
"Okay, boss."
Ning Beichen glanced sympathetically at Shi Yong's subordinates in the rearview mirror, estimating they would have a busy night.
Shi Yong's men had been kept on high alert by Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin for most of the night, but they never saw any assassins appear.
It wasn't until the two of them went home that they could finally rest for a bit, exhausted like dogs.
Moreover, they couldn't rest at night either, so they had to take turns monitoring Liu Yilin's residence.
Perhaps it was because of the "player" incident that Liu Yilin's mother realized her daughter was truly angry, so she didn't appear again the next day.
Shi Yong's men continued to protect Liu Yilin for several days, but they never encountered the assassin that Xiao Hu and Da Yan Meng Mei had lost. In the end, even they began to doubt whether the assassin would make a move.
"Ning Beichen, I heard the company hired a new person, and she's a great beauty. Aren't you going to see her?"
As Ning Beichen routinely teased Ya Mi, Ya Mi said to him, blushing.
"Newcomer? When did that happen?"
Ning Beichen frowned immediately. Hadn't he told Liu Yilin not to recruit new people to the company easily?
Because the existing employees had been vetted by Ning Beichen and their identities confirmed. If strangers were suddenly hired, who knew if they were assassins? Da Feng Xiao Shuo.
"Just now. It seems the person is still in the president's office."
Ya Mi told him.
Ning Beichen was immediately anxious. He quickly ended his daily teasing game with Ya Mi and rushed to Liu Yilin's office as if his backside were on fire, barging in without even knocking.
Inside Liu Yilin's office, a beautiful woman was chatting and laughing with Liu Yilin.
"Yilin, we haven't seen each other for years since we graduated from college! I never imagined you'd become a president."
"Yes! Five years have flown by. I can't believe time passes so quickly. Chenchen, since you're back this time, you must stay for a while. You can stay at my place, and we can catch up properly."
Before Liu Yilin could finish speaking, she saw Ning Beichen burst in without knocking.
"Ning Beichen, what is it?"
Liu Yilin didn't blame him because Ning Beichen never came to her office unless something was up.
"Boss, who is she?"
Ning Beichen pointed at the woman in her office.
"She's my college classmate, Cheng Chen. You're here at the right time. I plan to have Cheng Chen stay at my place for a while."
Liu Yilin said to Ning Beichen.
"Boss, is she really your classmate?"
Ning Beichen asked, staring intently at the woman.
"Nonsense, we lived in the same dorm in college. Do you think I wouldn't recognize her?"
Liu Yilin said to him irritably.
"It's been five years since we last met. That's not necessarily true."
Ning Beichen muttered.
Whether this woman was Liu Yilin's classmate or not, Ning Beichen didn't know, but his intuition told him this woman was very strange. He sensed an extremely sinister aura emanating from her.
Unfortunately, aura and intuition were too mysterious and unpredictable. He had no way to demonstrate them to Liu Yilin.
Moreover, from what he could see, Liu Yilin had no suspicion whatsoever towards her so-called "good classmate" whom she hadn't seen for five years.
